Several steamers that the strike had
kept from sailing from New York have
left or will be able to do so in few days
owing TO the successful working OF the
green hands. The strike against non
union coal made some impression on
Thursday. The men on the Baltimore
and Ohio pier on North river were
ordered out and left with reluctance, ard
showed that they had no grievance. A
large number Of men from Cincinnati
came on to go to work on the Red Star
piers.
Mr.. Georges first utterances were as

of civil war, which steel-clad forts and
armor-plated ships cannot guard us
against-the kindling of passions and the
arraying of forces that, reused to full
energy, may give cities to the flames and
destroy our very civilization itself
How is that for a pretended philoso-

madness it is we'll that his proposed civil
war begins in New York, where it is

1t is really very late for General Long
street to attempt, as he does in the Gen.
tury, to put the blame of the Confederate
failure at Gettysburg on General
Lee, when everybody who knows
anything about it on either side,
and who can speak without preju.
dice, knows that General Longstreet did
not obey his commanders orders. He
was ordered to attack early in the
morning, and waited until 4 pm.
For the sake of common sense,
let us hear the man clear himself before
he impugns another who was above him
as the star is compared with rushlight
or, as Fitz Lee beautifully expressed it,
General LOngstreets criticism would
only have tail like the short one of the
Kilkenny cats.

4 CRITICAL REVIEW,
A Lawyers Opinion.

The Wig attempts to reply to an ar
ticle showing that the grand jurors are
liable for indicting persons under an un
constitutional law.
/ The substance of its argument is
! First, that they cannot be liable, because
they don't know that the law is unconsti-
tutional; second, that they can't be liable,
because no court has pronounced the law
under which they found the indictment
to be unconstitutional
| The two arguments are the same in
substance-at least, one answer answers
both. The answer is, that if the law un-
der which they act be in fact unconstitu-
tional, all persons who act under il act
without authority. The court that en-
forces it is no court. 1t has no jurisdic-
ton. 1t is Judge Lynch's Court. 1t is
the same thing as mob, and each man
is bound to know that he has no author
ity. Iga0rdHtia Legum nan ercuS1t.
Now, lest the wing may make some
mistake about this, we will give it the
language of the Supreme Court on the
subject. In Yarborough's case, 40, t..
s. r., it said, at page ga, "If the law
which defines the ofTense and prescrbes
its punishment is void, the court was
without jurisdiction" In Schools
case, 100 l. 5. r., it said, at page 37G
IAN unconstitutional law is void, and is
no law An ofTense created by it is not a
crime. A conviction under it is not
merely erroneous, but is illegal and void,
and cannot be a legal cause Of imprison-
ment.' In Norton VS.. Shelby county,
11S [. S. r., it said, at page 442, "An un-
constltual act is not law; it cOnfers no
rights; it imposes no duties; it affords
no protection it creates no office; it is,
in legal contemplation, as imperative as
though it had never been pass
ed" In Royals case, III L. 5. r.,
it said, at page 249 speaking Of the con-
sequences Of acting under an unconstitu-
tional law, "THE GRAND JURORS who
found the Indictment, the court into
which il was returned and by whose
order the prisoner was arrested, and the
officer who holds him in custody are all
equally with individual citizens under
a duty from the discharge of which the
State could not release them TO respect
and obey the supreme law of the land,
anything in the constitution and laws
of any State to the contrary notwith-
standing"
If the Wig will read these cases it will
no doubt see tn point, which is, that
when a court acts under an unconstitu-
tional law it is not a court 1t and its
grand jury are simply mob.

over very commonplace grocery store.
The entrance was through a pair of glass
doors and the interior was hidden by red
curtains. As l opened the door gong struck
with far away sound and Immediately
thereafter there was a tinkling of silver
toned bells. The room was dark and hung
in red. The walls were covered with dark
red cloth, in whose folds mystery seemed to
Turk. The chandelier was in the form of a
dragons head. and stuffed weird looking
animals covered a shelf which ran around
the room not far from the ceiling. Here at
